He’s Unhinged

A former U.S. budget director under Ronald Reagan has called President Donald Trump an ‘unhinged madman’ and accused him of waging ‘four wars’ on the American economy.

David Stockman, who also served as a Republican member of Congress, said Trump was undermining the economy and was ‘not going to make it great again’.

The 72-year-old identified trade, the Mexican border dispute, attacks on the Federal Reserve and rising national debt as the four economic flashpoints which Trump had brought about.

Rejecting Trump’s claim of a ‘national emergency’ on the southern border he said the country ‘needs immigrant labor’ and condemned what he called a ‘silly battle’.

Speaking to Yahoo, he said: ‘We have a delusional, unhinged madman in the Oval Office, and anything is possible.

‘He’s conducting four wars on the American economy, and it’s not going to make it great again.’
Discussing the ‘trade war’, he said rising tariffs on China and Europe were a ‘war on consumers’ and had increased prices.

He said the Mexican border crisis was a ‘border war on immigrant labor’ and said migrants were needed to make up for a shrinking domestic labor force.

‘We need immigrant labor. We shouldn’t be having a, you know, silly battle over a wall in a border where there isn’t a crisis,’ said Stockman.

He also accused Trump of conducting a ‘political war’ on Federal Reserve bosses, discouraging them from raising interest rates.

The President recently said that ‘the only problem our economy has is the Fed’ and accused them of ‘not having a feel for the market’.

Stockman’s fourth crisis was a rising national debt – currently $22trillion – which he described as a ‘war on the nation’s solvency’.

Trump blamed his predecessor Barack Obama for a rising national debt but it has continued to grow under his presidency.

The state — whatever its particular forms — always expresses itself as a collective form of property ownership. All political systems are socialistic, in that they are premised upon the subservience of individual interests to collective authority. Communism, fascism, lesser forms of state socialism, and welfarism, are all premised upon the state’s usurpation of privately-owned property. Whether one chooses to be aligned with the political "Left," "Right," or "Middle," comes down to nothing more than a preference for a particular franchise of state socialism.

Another Republican bought and paid for by Big Ag and Chamber of Commerce, two giant forces in the Swamp, but at least he's admitting it when he says the border must remain porous so cheap labor can continue to come across.

The economic numbers prove it. Never Trumpers are worse than socialist democrats, and please take that personally.

Why would I take it personally when I am not even a Never Trumper? Unlike you, a Trump WORSHIPPER!!!! And please take that personally!

Victor David Hanson, I think it was, observed recently that not long before the collapse (but while the rot was thoroughly spread), some powerful people in Rome insisted that barbarians had to be allowed into the empire without assimilation. One reason was, they needed laborers. Any student of history knows how that story ended.

Thats right, another swamp dweller, part of the never Trumper cabal that conspire with Democrats for big government and loose borders.

Stockman seems to forget that Trump's tax policies are not only like Reagan's but in some ways better than Reagan's and are a big reason for the economic boom.

And UNLIKE Reagan, Trump is bringing China to its knees and fixing the border.

Stockman is a has-been buffoon, probably a Jeb Bush boot licker.

Who disagrees with that?

I like the way the title of the thread says "Unhinged". You know you are dealing with a closet liberal when they borrow the socialists' talking points to describe a Republican president who is a smashing success.

I am proud of the president of my party for his amazing successes across the board. Only a leftist would call that boot licking. Stop pretending you are a conservative

I like some things he has done, I dislike some things he has done....what I won't do is grovel at the mans feet like you do. You are a neo con. A leftist who doesn't know it yet.

This interpretation is clearly inferior; since your words cannot surpass the Words of “Big Brother” whose rendition is the only correct one.

Consequently, any interpretation at odds with the Big Boss is most definitely false.

Since they can’t both be right at the same time; and assuming that his rendition is the only correct one then your interpretation is most definitely FALSE.
